Watch How To Make French Toast Crepes
It’s a Snack, It’s a Breakfast… We Love Them.
A while back, I stumbled upon a video by Dini at Prep and Rally where she took an almond flour tortilla and gave it the delightful French Toast Treatment!
The tortilla is dipped in an egg mixture with a dash of maple syrup (and milk, if you’re like me) and pan-fried into pliable little golden discs that have the look of a crepe, yet offer a touch of French Toast too?
Introducing French Toast Crepes!
Is it a tad absurd? Yes! Just roll with it!
It was a fun, adorable video, but this is one of those recipes we revisit time and again in our home. I whip them up about every 1-2 weeks now. I’ve already spotted numerous posts from those of you who’ve made them on Instagram! These are the tortillas I rely on:
My daughters enjoy these for breakfast, and I do too – but they’ve also unexpectedly become a hit as a snack and for lunchboxes! After French Toasting the tortillas, just roll them up with jam and yogurt and store them in the fridge for a quick snack! (No, it’s not a ham and cheese roll, it’s jam and yogurt – but never say never!)
These are perfect with a blueberry sauce, or simply some thawed frozen fruit! Hope you adore them – and thank you for the clever idea, Dini!

Whisk together your egg mixture.
Just like French Toast! Eggs, maple syrup, and a dash of milk or cream.
Coat the tortillas.
I exclusively use the Siete almond flour tortillas for this recipe. They may not soak up the mixture significantly, but they get nicely coated!
Pan fry and wrap.
I prefer to melt a bit of butter in the pan, then pan fry those crepes on both sides until beautifully golden!
Wrap, top, and enjoy!
They’re just so delicious.

# Crepes Filled with French Toast Flavor: A Delicious Fusion
If you’re a fan of both crepes and French toast, why not merge the two into one irresistible dish? Crepes filled with French toast flavor provide the best of both worlds—thin, delicate crepes infused with the warm, spiced essence of classic French toast. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dessert, and is bound to delight family and friends.
In this article, we’ll dive into how to create these flavorful crepes, the ingredients you’ll require, and some tasty variations to explore.
## What Are Crepes Filled with French Toast Flavor?
Crepes are slender, delicate pancakes that hail from France. They can be enjoyed with sweet or savory fillings, making them incredibly adaptable. French toast, on the other hand, is a traditional breakfast favorite made by soaking bread in an egg mixture flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar before cooking to a golden finish.
By blending these two cherished dishes, you achieve crepes infused with the flavors of French toast—cinnamon, vanilla, and a touch of sweetness—while preserving the light, airy texture of classic crepes.
## Ingredients You’ll Need
To craft crepes filled with French toast flavor, you’ll require:
### For the Crepes:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– ½ cup water
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ teaspoon cinnamon
– A pinch of salt
### For the French Toast Filling:
– 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
– ½ teaspoon cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
– ¼ cup powdered sugar
### Optional Toppings:
– Fresh berries
– Whipped cream
– Maple syrup
– Powdered sugar
– Chopped nuts
## How to Make Crepes Filled with French Toast Flavor
### Step 1: Prepare the Crepe Batter
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, water, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
3. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. The batter should be thin and free of lumps.
4. Allow the batter to rest for about 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
### Step 2: Cook the Crepes
1. Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer.
3. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly golden. Flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
4. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and continue with the remaining batter.
### Step 3: Make the French Toast Filling
1. In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until smooth.
2. Add the maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and creamy.
### Step 4: Assemble the Crepes
1. Spread a thin coating of the French toast filling over each crepe.
2. Roll or fold the crepes as desired.
3. Garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
## Delicious Variations
– **Stuffed with Bananas:** Incorporate sliced bananas inside the crepes for added sweetness and texture.
– **Nutella Twist:** Spread a thin layer of Nutella in addition to the French toast filling for a chocolatey delight.
– **Caramelized Apples:** Sauté apple slices with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar for a warm, spiced filling.
– **Savory Version:** Omit the sugar in the crepe batter and fill with cream cheese, ham, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweet-savory contrast.
## Final Thoughts
Crepes filled with French toast flavor are a delightful merger of two classic breakfast favorites. They’re simple to prepare, remarkably tasty, and customizable with your favorite toppings and fillings. Whether you’re serving these for a special event or simply treating yourself to a scrumptious breakfast, these crepes are sure to be a hit.
